“Indie Girl”

05/25/2005

So Reese posted this quiz on her site (and if you’ve never read her blog, you really, really should – I’m gonna work on getting some videos on there) anyway, back in high school we used to religiously take any quiz Cosmo ever published. Quizzes are great. They’re like mini psych-evaluations. So, according to cookingtohoookup.com (???) I’m an “Indie Girl”.

It’s no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn’t even speak to each other if they met at a party.

— Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

I really need to read High Fidelity!

You can boil the Indie Girl down to two words: cultural literacy. Or how about these two: media consumption. As the Gourmet Girl loves food and all that goes with it, the Indie Girl loves media: books, movies, music, and art. The good news is you don’t have to be rich, good-looking, or famous to win this girl’s heart. The bad news is she will judge you based on your music choices, the books you read, and the films you watch.
